According to a recent report, women eat more unhealthy foods and tend to put on weight when they move in with a male partner.

 

The reason, experts say, is that both partners try to please each other during the "honeymoon period" when they first move in together by adjusting their eating habits to suit their partner’s. But if the woman takes over the food shopping and cooking, she will most likely exert a positive influence in the long run.
